well let's look at the situation. the term "large numbers", what does that mean? let's say its 1000 AQ people. we know how our country is structured, there are so many soft targets: malls, schools, public transportation, etc. what are these 1000 guys going to do? 1000 suicide bombers? 500 2 man sniper teams? they could be conducting those activities right now, with very little difficulty. walking into a mall with a backpack bomb, getting their hands on a hunting rifle and shooting people all over the country, causing accidents on major roadways to crash tanker trucks. We all could think of 100s of ideas.
So my point is - if its that wasy to get into the country, and they have large numbers of people, and there is a whole host of low tech attacks they could launch - what are they waiting for?
The month before the election. "If you want this to stop, don't re-elect Bush, and get out of the Middle East"
John Kerry's election.
You're not taking the "they haven't done these things, so therefore it isn't true" line, are you??
